How long does it take to grow an avocado tree?

It gets worse.

This Signal situation is just the tip of the iceberg of incompetence in this administration.

This is a critical point everybody in the media should be amplifying:

Greenland Officials Express Fury Over Trump’s Plan to Send Delegation Usha Vance, the second lady, and Michael Waltz, the national security adviser, are on their way this week. Greenlandic officials called the move “aggressive.”

“What is the national security adviser doing in Greenland?” Prime Minister Egede asked. “The only purpose is to demonstrate power over us.” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/23/u...

Trump’s commerce secretary Howard Lutnick says if Social Security skipped a check, his mother-in-law wouldn’t complain—and if you would, it indicates you are probably a fraudster. Insane.

Social Security Administration to require in-person identity checks for new and existing recipients In an effort to limit fraudulent claims, the Social Security Administration will impose tighter identity-proofing measures.

Yep.

Rep. Larson: “By requiring seniors and disabled Americans to enroll online or in person at the same field offices they are trying to close, rather than over the phone, Trump and Musk are trying to create chaos and inefficiencies so they can privatize the system.”

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: According to the Trump Standard announced by President Trump on Truth Social yesterday, all January 6 pardon recipients must now be re-arrested and re-detained, as every one of them was illegally released from custody.

You don’t know who we just disappeared to El Salvador. Think about that.

America First—a complete lie. Silencing Voice of America is yet another way the Trump regime diminishes America and strengthens his authoritarian buddies.

If you attack the Capitol to overturn election results and to overthrow democracy on behalf of a criminal, you’re a hero.

If you attack a Tesla dealership, we’ll throw away the key.

🚨Voice of America is has been eliminated

President Trump has signed an executive order dismantling the U.S. Agency for Global Media, ceasing operations of Voice of America (VOA) and other U.S.-funded media outlets.

This ends over 80 years of broadcasting unbiased news to global audiences. 🎙️

this guy’s distinguishing quality is his boundless contempt for anyone who voices the slightest disagreement with him. you can see in his voice and mannerisms that he thinks he’s better than everyone around him. (which to my mind is just compensation for his palpable self-loathing)

'Highly unusual': White House halts FBI background checks for senior staff, shifts them to Pentagon: Sources The White House has quietly told the FBI to halt background checks on dozens of the president's top staffers and has transferred the process to the Pentagon, sources say.

Opinion | DOGE says it’s saving $100 billion. It’s about to lose a lot more. Cuts to the IRS will backfire by giving tax evaders a free pass.

"the plan to shrink IRS staff by up to 50% would — very conservatively — lead to a $400 billion increase in uncollected taxes over the next decade. It could easily mean more than $2 trillion in losses..."

Grifter in chief.
Embarrassing. Nauseating

The House just voted that “each day for the remainder of the 119th Congress shall not constitute a calendar day for purposes of section 202 of the National Emergencies Act.” A day is not a day. Lewis Carroll, George Orwell, and Franz Kafka must all be chuckling — or weeping.

The whole thing is important, but listen until the end: the US depends a lot on the flow of capital into the country because it is perceived as the safest port in a storm. Once that is no longer true, a lot of things Americans take for granted go away.

Musk claims Social Security is a "gigantic magnet to attract illegal immigrants."

In fact, immigrants here illegally do not collect Social Security. But they pay $25.7 billion a year into it, a recent study found, so these undocumented workers are actually subsidizing Americans.

Elon is attacking somebody falsely and egregiously because they are a real astronaut

Some Democratic member of Congress should propose a bill saying that a POTUS may golf at government expense no more than, say, once every 14 days, and must reimburse the Treasury for anything beyond that.

And Joe Biden couldn’t go home for an occasional weekend getaway.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Trump confirms that Musk and Rubio despise each other.

Telling Americans to “Shut Up About Egg Prices” is quite the message

The FAA approved another launch before the last crash investigation was completed — and it ended in another disaster.

Why is SpaceX getting a free pass from DOGE cuts? 🤔

NEW: The National Advisory Committee on Microbiological Criteria for Foods is (or was) an advisory committee housed within the USDA which provides outside expert advice to advance food safety across the US and across different levels of govt. It was ordered disbanded this afternoon.
